Dian Wei's slogan "Han Sui is dead, and the surrendered ones will not be killed" was shouted casually. In order to temporarily shake the enemy's morale and make the defense flaws appear. There are very few defenders in the city who are willing to surrender obediently because of its roar.

Moreover, Dian Wei is not the head coach, and his promises do not count. The soldiers in Han Sui's army may not be afraid of liquidation, but the top leaders know what kind of thief Han Sui is. Those under Han Sui who have gone from thieves to high positions will not be much more relaxed than those of the core backbones under Zhang Jiao back then.

That was the giant bandits who had begun to rebel before the first year of Zhongping and endangered Guanxi for many years. Even Han Sui and Bian Zhang were held hostage by Beigong Boyu and other more veteran thieves. In other words, in terms of seniority, the rebels were arrested by many older thieves than Han Sui.

These people are extremely vicious, and the court will not easily forgive, and their own fighting will is also very fierce. As long as they are not the desperate situation where the crossbow arrows are already pressing against the forehead and die in a second without surrendering, they will not easily surrender.

Since Emperor Donghe and Emperor An, the Han Dynasty has been in the past ninety years, and Xiliang has been rebelling four times on a large scale. It is basically a cycle of "fighting for ten years, killing the population, and then peaceful for fifteen to twenty years, the population reproduces to Hehuang, and the fields in Zhugu pastures in Hexi are not divided enough. It is blocked by the Qilian Mountains and is not convenient to migrate and nomadic, and is once again trapped in the Malthus population trap. Then, after another ten years of bloody battle, slaughtering more than half of the population and restoring peace."

Ninety years, four ten-year bloody battles of massacres, three breeding intervals in the middle, the first twenty years, the second and third, each fifteen years, and the four massacres and three lives combined for exactly ninety years (the fourth counter-rebellion has not ended yet, so the fourth breeding period has not yet arrived)

As a result, the bloody battle in Jincheng City continued for nearly one night, and more than thousands were killed by Han soldiers. The battle was not over the next day until dawn.

After the battle, Guan Yu and other generals were still scared: the remaining soldiers were only more than 7,000, and it was really difficult to guard the thief's nest so many people and so many prisoners.

Li Su didn't dare to enter the city that night. He rarely brought only a few hundred guards, and there was no strong general and bodyguard around him. He was stationed in a dangerous camp at the height of Gaolan Mountain, overlooking the battlefield. It was not until the next day that it was completely quiet below and he went down the mountain to enter the city.

Li Su's move also made a real and huge contribution to the final decisive stage of the Jincheng Battle, and he was willing to send all the powerful generals around him, allowing Dian Wei and Wang Ping to fight first, and did not waste bodyguard resources at critical moments. This was amazing.

...

After entering the city, Guan Yu immediately responded to him and sent Li Su to the county magistrate's office in Jincheng County to discuss matters, discussing how to reward merits and rewards to the court, how to safeguard the people and recruit surrounding counties, and the next step of pursuit.

The discussion on merit is the most exciting and easy to agree on. Everyone was tired after two days of bloody battles. They really needed some good news to cheer up. They divided the merits in a harmonious atmosphere, and Li Su submitted them to the court.

As for the generals, Guan Yu must have been the first contribution to pacifying Han Sui. He specifically coordinated the implementation of the entire battle, participated in all aspects, and defeated three main forces of the enemy. In the case of killing generals, he personally killed Yang Qianwan and Yan Xing, and commanded the subordinates to shoot Song Jian's personal guards, forcing Song Jian's subordinates to kill Song Jianlaixian.

Dian Wei mainly had the purpose of killing Han Sui, and also had the intention to stop Han Sui's defeated troops from retreating into the city, which objectively prevented the subsequent difficulty of the city-snatching street battle in the city from increasing.

Wang Ping did not kill the generals, but he had the first achievement in the battle to capture Jincheng. His troops also made the most efforts in the subsequent search and suppression of the remaining enemies in the city. Zhang Ren could only rank fourth. He only went to the front line in the camp war yesterday morning to supervise the battle and coordinate, and helped Guan Yu share a lot of command work at the specific execution level.

As for civilian staff, Li Su made great strategic decisions. Xu Shu had designed the details of the water attack strategy and also ensured the implementation of the strategy.

Especially in the final stage, because enemy reinforcements passed by in the west, Xu Shu used a lot of tricks to cover up suspicion to prevent the attempt to store water by Yang Qianwan. These tricks and micro-operations were all front-line tactical qualities that Li Su himself did not possess.

After writing the memorial form for merit, Li Su roughly estimated how everyone could be promoted and rewarded, and wrote a letter to Liu Bei privately as an "evaluation suggestion". Liu Bei could listen or not, but in the end, Liu Bei would modify it himself and report it to the emperor.

Li Su estimated that Wang Ping might be promoted to a higher-level lieutenant, and Zhang Ren could be the chief lieutenant at most. General Xu Shuyou's part-time job will not change, but his function will be promoted.

Dian Wei was lucky enough to kill Han Sui and could go further on the road of the guardian. However, it is still difficult to achieve the "Zhong Guardian" and "Zhong Guardian", only the Grand Sima or General can set up this subordinate official (the guardian is not an official position in the court, but an official position in the shogunate, and the Central Sima or General Shogunate belongs to the Grand Sima or General Shogunate.)

Guan Yu and Li Su are already very high, so it is impossible to get promoted directly just by killing Han Sui. It is okay to add a little more households to be granted a marquis. It is definitely necessary to discuss promotion at one time after the Liangzhou battle is completely over.

In addition, because the four positions of the Great Husband Guard in the court were occupied by princes from all sides. As long as the emperor was still Liu Xie, there would be no position on it unless he was transferred to a civil service.

As for Li Su, unless he was given to the Three Dukes, he was already above the Nine Ministers and could not move at all.

So Li Su thought about it over and over again, in order to avoid the difficulty of Liu Bei, he helped Liu Bei think of a new reward and promotion system in his private letter, called "Kaifu Yitong Sansi".

This is not something Li Su thinks about it, nor is it that Li Su deliberately wants to use the rewards from later dynasties now, but it has a basic basis:

Historically, the "Kaifu Yitong Sansi" was not officially established as a permanent system until the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which means that although the people who received this reward were not the Three Dukes, they could enjoy the same service institution as the Three Dukes, and enjoy the ceremonial system of the Three Dukes.

It can be roughly understood as "enjoying the treatment of three public officials and handling affairs like three public officials, but not three public officials."

However, the earliest actual exception of such treatment was actually in the 194th period of history of Guo Si and Fan Chou. Guo Si and Fan Chou defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng and returned to the DPRK, realizing the "opening of the government to observe matters" with Li Jie, resulting in the three generals, Li Jie, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and the three Dukes and the three palaces, and a total of "six governments" to govern the government affairs.

Now Fan Chou was shot and killed in the Yangping Pass battle because of the butterfly effect a few years ago. Guo Si made contributions faster than Li Jue the previous year, and finally got the position of General Cavalry. Therefore, "The Right General" and "The Later General" did not actually happen.

Li Su felt that it was a bit unlucky to copy Guo Si and Fan Chou's treatment in history for himself and Guan Yu, and it seemed very domineering to do so, and he was disrespectful to the court, so he advised Liu Bei to establish a system first, form a common law, and then use the common law to reward him, and not to make special.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Liangzhou is pacified, Guan Yu will be the "former general Kaifu Yitong Sansi", and Li Su will be the "right general Kaifu Yitong Sansi", and create a "deputy three public rank" between the "ministerial level" nine ministers and the "national level" three public ranks.

...

After discussing the issue of getting promoted and making money with a happy mood, what remains is a difficult hard bone: how to deal with the prisoners and the remaining enemies of the surrounding counties.

After Li Su and Guan Yu discussed, they first sent Zhang Ren to lead 3,000 troops to capture the remaining counties of Jincheng County. Wang Ping led 2,000 troops and followed the source of the Yellow River to get close to Xu Shu, who was still in Liujiaxia, and brought Xu Shu's 3,000 troops with him.

Go over the Yellow River to cross Jishishan Mountain, go to Kuohan, Xingguo and other places, and as much as Song Jian’s territory can be collected. If you encounter an enemy who continues to support the new master and resist, or escape Kuohan and continues to go deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, then guard the Jishishan Pass in Kuohan and leave it alone for the time being.

Jishi Mountain is the southern branch of the Qilian Mountains. It is generally believed that the large mountain range that runs northwest and southeast of the Qinghai-Gansu border is called Qilian Mountains. The mountain that moves from south to south to north to separate the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Gannan region is Jishi Mountain.

Li Su has not yet gone deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to chase the remaining enemies, so he just needs to block the pass where the Yellow River flows out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from Jishi Mountain.

After Wang Ping and Zhang Ren left, Guan Yu's remaining troops were even less in Jincheng. He was very worried that the prisoners would rebel again after they noticed the emptiness.

However, although these Liangzhou thieves were abominable, they were still ominous in killing prisoners. So after Li Su and Guan Yu discussed, they proposed to punish those who committed rebellion.

It is impossible not to kill at all, because these people have become accustomed to rebellion, and have reached a level that is more capricious than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and they will always decline and rebel.

Li Su suggested: "Even if ordinary bandits are pardoned directly, they will inevitably leave them the impression that they can easily be capricious, which is not conducive to the court's purging and establishing a new atmosphere. Moreover, these people have been endangering the country for many years and are difficult to change their nature.

Let’s do this, first pick out young bandit soldiers under the age of thirty and grassroots bandits without official positions, and make sure that not both father and son and brother are in the bandit army. If it is the kind of bandit soldiers who have already followed the bandits of the father and the son follow the bandits, they cannot be picked."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, knowing that Li Su was trying to kill the chicken to warn the monkey with a distinction, and asked, "What if you pick it out? These young thieves should be guilty of not much."

Li Su smiled and said, "Chen Yun misunderstood. Of course, I picked it out and didn't want to kill these people. I think they can ask each other to question and complain, and tell me how they followed the thief in the first place, who was forced and persuaded to follow the thief, and who was the strong men.

Then, through the evidence of these soldiers with shorter years of thieves, those who had been thieves for more than ten years, especially those who had been thieves, who had already treasoned for thieves before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, consumed the national strength of the Han Dynasty, and even were responsible for the outbreak of the Yellow Turban.

Let’s draw a line. The basic principle is that the thieves began to be thieves in the first year of Zhongping, and all of them were eliminated. Between the second and fourth years of Zhongping, before Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo came to Ping Xiliang, those who followed the thieves in those three years were punished for hard labor and served several years of prison for atonement. Five years after Zhongping, because the thieves were completely corrupt, good people were conscripted and allowed to be recruited into the army as long as they surrendered rather than resisting being captured before, they would be pardoned and allowed to be incorporated into the army."

Li Su drew this line because there were too many bands of followers in the fourth and fifth years of Zhongping. Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou at that time, attacked Han Sui, but Geng Bi himself was greedy and ignorant, so he gave all the officers and soldiers of the six counties he recruited for free. After the officers and soldiers of the six counties were surrounded and annihilated, almost all of them were borne by the bandits to save their lives. If the marking year was too late, these soldiers who were still in the army before 188 would have been liquidated.

On the other hand, Ma Teng also changed from an official army to a thief at that time. Now that he is using Ma Chao, this line is a little looser, which is also a kind of force to Ma Chao.

Guan Yu had no other choice but to allow a complaint meeting to divide the internal unity of the captives of the bandit army.

These people have become increasingly difficult to return. They must shift their hatred from hatred for the Han court to those who had originally brought them to strengthen their men, so that they can change their lives and become new.
